Russian (des)information: Russia and Norway after Ukraine?

This project aims to analyse the Russian information strategy and to assess its inner logic: How do Russian authorities justify their claims to Crimea? What are the basic premises of these claims?

Secondly, changes in how Norway and Norwegian policies are deescribed in Russian media and by Russian policy-makers will be mapped.

Finally, the project will assess Norwegian-Russian relations in light of the situation on Crimea and in the Ukraine: What are the main implications of the Ukraine Crisis for Norwegian-Russian relations?
